I have an older 512gb evo 840 ssd, today i just installed a XPG gamix 5 gen3/4 nvme.

Everything is running good, but AS SSD benchmark says my sata 3 ssd is running at 5000mb/s SEQ. R/W while my nvme is running at 2000mbs.

System:
I5 6600k
Asus z270 tuff mark 2
16gb ddr 4
512gb ssd
256gb nvme
1tb hd
Asus 1660 super.

SSD is on sata port 3 and hdd is on sata port 4.
NVME is in the port next to my 1660.
